SHADOWPROOF UN DE RGARMN T.

This yinvention relates to undergarments for ladies wear andparticularly to a combined petticoat and bloomers, especially adaptedfor use with the prevailing modes of dresses and outer garments worn atthis time.

As is well known, the fashionablv dressed woman to-day has practicallyiscarded pettcoats and has adopted as a substitute therefor, bloomers,slips, etc., all of which have certain advantages and somedisadvanta'ges,

my invention a garmade of any suitable material, and in any size, withsuch ornamentations as may be desired, and at a cost that will enablethe manufacturer to put out a line at both low and high prices.

I have provided in ment' which can be The construction is such that thegarment will fit snugly, but comfortably, at thel Waist and knee, and isalso what has co `e to be known as shadow proof, which is an importantrequisite when the outer garment is of light, sheer, or partlytransparent material. I

An important feature in this construction consists of the form andmethod of attachment of the apron members to the body of the garment, asthere is no double thickness of material around the waist, over the hipsor down the sides of thebloomer legs. Such double thicknesses are alwaysobjectionable for many obvious reasons..

It 1s also obvious that the elastic cuffs atthe bottom of the bloomerlegs could be omitted if desired, and that the said lower ends orbottoms couldbe left freely open with openings on the sides of the saldle s. Other advantages and a detailed description are set forth in thefollowing specification, ing, which is a perspective view, with one eaprons or petticoat members turned back-to show how the other apron ispositioned. As shown the arment is alike back and front, and there orereversible in It consists of a body 1, with an elastic waist band 2, andbloomer legs 3 3, in the l ellminated, there .com rising a Y proofingpane and shown in the accompanying draw- Application led September 8,1925.

lower extremity of which, elastic .cuffs 4-4 are provided. On both thefront and rear of the garment, shadow proofing panels 5 5 are attachedon the line 6. These shadow proofing panels are attached to the garmentat points between the waist line and crotch, and are of less width thanthe garment, whereby unnecessary bulkiness is being only a. singlethickness of material around the abdomen, hips, and small of 'the back,whereby a slim and stylish effect is produced. The garment is thoroughlyshadow'proof between the legs. and yet is of light weight andcomfortable to wear. In cases Where heavy material :is used, it would bepossible, if desired, to dispense with one of the aprons, and use onlvone of the same.

romthe foregoing,`it will be seen that this article can be elaboratelydecorated or embroidered, to present an attractive appearance.

I claim:

1. A shadow pair of v bloomers, and a sha oW- roofing panel having itstop edge attache to the bloomers at a point between the waistline andcrotch thereof, the panel being of less w'dth than the garment, thesides of the panel below the crotch being free from the bloomers,whereby the garment is shadow-proof between the legs, and has only asingle thickness of material around the hips and waistline.

2. -A shadow proof ladies undergarment comprising a air of bloomers, andshadowrear of the arment at points between the waistline an crotch, thepanels being of less width than the garment, the sides of the panelbelow the crotch being free from the bloomers, whereby the garment isshadow-proof between the legs, and has only a single thickness ofmaterial around the hips and waistline.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
